Itanic OEM slams Itanic

NEC's chief architect Len Tsai launched an astonishing attack on Intel's Itanium processor at Bert McComas' Platforms Conference in San Jose today.
Tsai stunned the room by describing Intel's approach as "brute force", and predicted that learning the new instruction set would take "half a generation". He said NEC - which shipped its Itanic2 servers last week, had not seen any demand for the ten-year old processor.
